Cheap Flights to Douz from HK$1,043

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Douz could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Douz, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
